Property Summary
Description
Redefining luxury in Bay Ridge, this stunning three-story plus cellar is unlike any home you will find in the heart of quintessential Brooklyn. This legal 2 family townhouse has been thoughtfully reconstructed and designed with character throughout. The beautiful facade makes a striking front on the blocks tree lined street with unique details that await just beyond the beautifully restored entry doors. Gleaming hardwood floors with a decorative inlay throughout greet you on the parlor floor along with 11-foot ceilings. The kitchen, undoubtedly the main focal point of the home, features custom cabinetry, Smeg Range, expansive soapstone-island, counter space and windows throughout with the garden serving as its backdrop. The expansive parlor floor features a light-filled living room, separate dining room, eat-in kitchen with garden access and powder room. Every detail of this stunning renovation was designed to modernize the interior while maintaining the original charm. Up one level off of the original wooden staircase awaits 3 additional bedrooms plus a home office hosting 14 foot ceilings plus two full baths. Custom skylights - one in the library, one over the staircase and the third in the full bath flood this level with natural light. The Primary Bedroom overlooks the spacious backyard, with an original brick fireplace, large walk in closet, and beautiful en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also accommodates a king-sized bed and the third a queen. The garden level features a two-bedroom, 1 bath rental which would offset approximately $2,000 of your monthly mortgage. The owners duplex also has access to the full cellar from the garden level. Additional features of the home include bespoke doors and hardware and central a/c & heating throughout. This splendid townhouse is set on one of the most picturesque blocks in all of Bay Ridge steps from the R at Bay Ridge Ave Station and 3rd Avenue featuring shops, restaurants and cafes galore and walking distance to the 69th Street pier and the ferry . Luxury living and quintessential Bay Ridge living collide in this immaculately designed and executed townhouse.
